Miami Heat swingman Max Strus is being aimed at by the Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, and Detroit Pistons this offseason, per Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer. The 27-year-old is generating some buzz on the open market after acting as a key contributor to Miami's deep playoff run this past season. Strus has developed into a solid, low-usage role player while putting forth 11.1 points and 2.6 threes per game on 37.6% shooting from downtown over 149 contests since the 2021-2022 campaign. The floor-stretching swingman's lineup versatility makes him a portable fit on just about any NBA roster.

Miami Heat guard/forward Max Strus contributed 10 points in Saturday's 104-103 loss to the Celtics, shooting 3-for-8 from the field and 2-for-5 from downtown. This was a good bounce-back effort from Strus, who has combined for only 12 points in the previous two games. He wrapped up his line with one rebound and three assists in 25 minutes. The 27-year-old sniper is enjoying a decent postseason, having averaged 10.5 points per game with 3.2 rebounds.

Miami Heat guard/forward Max Strus contributed 11 points as the team grabbed a 2-0 lead against Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals with a 111-105 victory on Friday. The 27-year-old sniper did most of his damage early in the game, hitting two three-point bombs for six first-quarter points. He finished 2-for-5 in total from deep and shot 3-for-6 overall in 27 minutes of action. Strus has now scored 10-plus points in seven consecutive games, averaging 15.1 points during the stretch.

Miami Heat guard Max Strus was asked to take on a bigger role in Game 2 with Jimmy Butler (ankle) sidelined. The expectation was that his usage would decrease with Butler returning for Game 3 on Saturday. However, Strus remained aggressive on offense and it paid off for Miami. He finished with 19 points, three rebounds, and one steal in the blowout victory over the New York Knicks. Strus has scored 36 points on 14-of-26 shooting over the last two games. The Heat are hopeful that Strus remains hot heading into Monday's Game 4 matchup.

Miami Heat guard/forward Max Strus (back) briefly left Tuesday's Game 2 against New York with a lower back contusion, but he's been quoted as saying that he's dealing with "just a little bruise." The 27-year-old had one of the best games of his playoff career Tuesday, shooting 3-for-7 from deep and 7-for-12 overall from the field en route to 17 points. Strus had a tough time scoring the basketball efficiently during the regular season, and while his scoring average has dropped during the playoffs, Strus has managed to greatly improve his shooting percentages and is hitting over 41 percent from deep. It looks like he's good to go for Saturday's Game 3, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Strus pop up on the injury report.

Miami Heat guard/forward Max Strus came up big in Friday's decisive play-in game against Chicago, matching his season-high with a 31-point effort. The 27-year-old sniper was hot right out of the gate, hitting four triples in the opening 7:38 of action. He finished with 7-for-12 shooting from downtown and was 8-for-16 overall. Strus added six rebounds and one steal to his tally in 36 minutes. The DePaul product can get hot any minute from deep, but he has been only a 35 percent three-point shooter this season, meaning there haven't been a lot of big performances from Strus. He will need to play at his very best for the Heat to have a chance in an extremely tough first-round matchup against Milwaukee.

Miami Heat forward Max Strus (finger) is expected to play on Tuesday versus Atlanta. The 27-year-old suffered a hyperextended right finger against the 76ers. However, it hasn't kept him off the floor, so there's no reason he won't see action for the pivotal play-in meeting with the Hawks. While Strus is always a risky DFS option, his upside on Tuesday is higher than most, considering the limited number of players available on the slate.

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Nearly the entire Heat roster is on the injury report, although the team is likely playing it safe to avoid backlash from the league office. However, with Tyler Herro (knee) questionable, Strus could be in line for additional work on Monday night. The 26-year-old finished with 12 points and seven assists in Saturday's overtime win over the Orlando Magic, so desperate fantasy managers should consider putting him into the starting lineup.

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) is probable for Saturday's meeting with the Spurs. The 26-year-old has been dealing with a right shoulder injury recently. However, he's battled through it. Strus has played well this season, averaging a career-high 14.3 points and 3.5 rebounds. While his three-point percentage has taken a turn in the wrong direction from last year, he still has value in deeper fantasy setups.

Miami Heat guard/forward Max Strus (shoulder) is regarded as probable for Thursday's clash with the Clippers. Miami has almost the whole team on the injury report, but they will need to have somebody on the court and it appears likely that Strus will be one of them, with him only dealing with right shoulder impingement. Strus has missed just two games all season, and various injuries have allowed him to play a prominent role on the team. The 22-year-old is Heat's fourth top scorer with a 14.5-point average, and Strus has also tallied 3.5 rebounds with 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals.

However, he's missed the last two games with a right shoulder injury. With Jimmy Butler (knee) out again on Sunday, Strus has the potential to see a noticeable bump in production.

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) won't play against Washington. Strus has played well this season, averaging 15.3 points in 34.1 minutes per game this season. However, he'll join Jimmy Butler (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) on the sidelines, so Caleb Martin (illness) and Tyler Herro (ankle) could benefit from a production standpoint. Yet, if those guys can't go, Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith (hip) may seen an increase in production. Either way, fantasy managers should expect Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo to be the primary contributors offensively on Friday night.

Miami Heat guard/forward Max Strus (shoulder) isn't ready to play Wednesday versus Washington. He's having issues with his right shoulder and needs some time off. Strus has been a real workhorse for the injury-hit Heat, recording multiple 40-minute outings this month. He has proven himself as a solid scorer and Strus also chips in a bit in other areas. Miami will hope to get Tyler Herro (ankle) back Wednesday to cope with Strus' absence. He's missed eight games but could return against the Wizards, with the team considering Herro questionable ahead of the contest.

He became just one point short of matching his career-high, shooting an incredible 8-for-14 from three-point range and 10-for-16 overall from the field. Strus' work also included four rebounds, two assists and one steal with zero turnovers in 38 minutes. The 26-year-old has been able to capitalize on the absence of Tyler Herro (ankle) lately, getting a boost in playing time and more shooting opportunities. Gabe Vincent, who had 20 points on Saturday, has also started to play some very big minutes off the bench and even Duncan Robinson can feel like an important part of the rotation again.

This one isn't a surprise, as the 26-year-old has been a continuous presence on the league's official injury report for much of the postseason. The strained hamstring hasn't slowed him down either, primarily since he's averaged nearly 29 minutes per game throughout the playoffs. While Strus is a hit-or-miss fantasy option, he is one of the better DFS value options available.

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's series finale versus the Celtics. Strus has a strained right hamstring. However, DFS managers have nothing to worry about, primarily since the ailment hasn't stopped him from playing over the last few weeks.

There wasn't really any doubt the 26-year-old wouldn't be available, so he'll be in the starting lineup for the pivotal playoff battle. Strus had played well throughout the postseason, but his production has dwindled during this series, with averages of 7.4 points, 3.0 boards, and 1.8 assists. However, with Kyle Lowry (hamstring) not 100% and Tyler Herro (groin) out, Strus' upside is higher than usual.

Strus is making yet another appearance on the injury report this postseason because of a nagging right hamstring strain. However, he hasn't missed any time yet, so it's unlikely he isn't out there for Game 5. While the 26-year-old didn't have the best showing on Monday during the loss to the Celtics, going 0-for-7 from the field, he's played well throughout the playoffs, so he continues to warrant DFS consideration.
